History of Pahranagat Valley

Horse thieving, prospecting, ranching, and the occasional murder make Pahranagat Valley’s history quite colorful. Hear stories of the valley’s wild west years and see two of the area's oldest cabins.

Night Hike

When the sun sets Pahranagat NWR comes alive with the calls of owls and coyotes. Learn how these animals’ adaptations allow them to thrive in the darkness. During the warmer months of the year, go on a search for scorpions with black lights provided by naturalists.

Astronomy

Away from the city lights the night sky fills with bright planets and constellations. Take a tour of the night sky and view galaxies, planets, nebulae and globular clusters through a reflecting telescope.
